Using camera in Truespace // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by chromedragon // Oct 22, 2007, 9:24pm chromedragon Total Posts: 33 Hello, I would like to save a rendered object at a specific size, but only the object. How would I accomplish this? For instance, if I create a box then render it, I only want the box, not the space around it. Is this possible? Thanks for all help. Chromedragon Post by Jack Edwards // Oct 22, 2007, 9:31pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Yep. You need to save the output in TGA format. :) Post by Bobbins // Oct 23, 2007, 1:04am Bobbins Total Posts: 506 ... specifically 32 bit TGA, but that might not be what is wanted. If you want just the box filling the image with the edges of the box right to the edge of the rendered image I can't think of a way to accurately get it right. I'd create a camera, make the view from the camera then position the camera so the object touched the edge of the view window, then render to file. With some patience that could be good enough.

For those not familiar with this, basically it is a bounding box showing the camera view which can be shown/hidden, re-centred & resized, enabling rendered output to be exactly as you need it.

Is that what you are looking for ? If so, here is the trick : 1- Create a new layer, 2- Create a cube and scale it up to cover your objects, 3- In every side views, use the ZoomToFit (http://emmanuel.asset.free.fr/tsxarchive/index.htm) plugin, 4- Set the layer invisible to hide the cube. Et voilà.
